Answer:

The diagonal AB will 7.280 units long

Explanation:

A solid with 3-dimensions with all its six faces rectangular is called a rectangular prism. It has the same cross-section along a length, which makes it a prism. It is also a "cuboid"

Given the edges of th rectangular prism as 1,6, and 4 units, we can find the length of the diagonal by using the formula


d=√(l^2+w^2+h^2)

where

d is the diagonal AB

l is the length

w is width

h is the height

On Substituting the values


d=√((1)^2+(6)^2+(4)^2)


d=√(1+36+16)


d=√(53)


d=7.280
